Progress: 27/100 (27SEP25)
Cloned from original list, original description below my paragraph. The original description includes the rules, prompts, etc, although if you would like to take part in this please visit the original list too :)
The biggest list challenge I've made a list for so far. I'd honestly be done with them at this point but this one is very loose with the rules beyond the prompts (no time limit, watch in any order, etc), so its not going to add any pressure to the films I'm already planning to watch this year.

The biggest list challenge I've made a list for so far.

I've done my best to include as few "crossover" films with other challenges as possible. Also where possible, I've included films that are in my main watchlist already. I will start watching whenever but likely will not see the majority of these until next year (probably); hence inclusion of films yet to be released. ALL films on my list are first time watches, with the notable exception of prompt #95, which requests a rewatch (in my case, American Psycho (2000)). Films in this list are subject to change to another that fit the prompt until watched.
